I can provide you with a selection of notable quotes attributed to Adlai Stevenson:
1. "Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."
2. "We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed, for our safety, to its security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and I will say, the love we give our fragile craft."
3. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
4. "Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans."
5. "The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal is the ultimate indignity to the democratic process."
6. "I am convinced that the best service a retired general can perform is to turn in his tongue along with his suit, and to mothball his opinions."
7. "To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man—and also a nation."
8. "In America, anybody can be president. That's one of the risks you take."
9. "The relationship between press and politician—protected by the Constitution and designed to be happily adversarial—becomes sour, raw, and ultimately deadly when political power and the press become co-dependent."
10. "Your days are short here; this is the last of your springs. And now in the serenity and quiet of this lovely place, touch the depths of truth, feel the hem of Heaven. You will go away with old, good friends. And don't forget when you leave why you came."
